This glazed stovetop carrots recipe features tender, caramelized carrots cooked in olive oil and honey, resulting in a sweet and savory side dish that’s quick and easy to prepare. Garnished with fresh parsley, these carrots are perfect for adding color and flavor to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Carrots

  • 6 carrots, peeled, cut into quarters lengthwise then halved

Glaze and Seasoning

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 2/3 cup water
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Parsley, finely chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat the olive oil in a very large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, preparing the pan for caramelizing the carrots.
  2. Cook the carrots: Add the prepared carrots to the skillet, placing them mostly cut side down. Cook undisturbed for 5 to 7 minutes to allow them to brown and develop a golden color.
  3. Add glaze ingredients: Pour in the honey, water, salt, and pepper (excluding parsley). Stir once to combine, then allow the mixture to cook until the water evaporates and the carrots start to caramelize, about 3 minutes.
  4. Caramelize: Stir the carrots once or twice during caramelization to evenly coat them in the glaze and enhance browning.
  5. Serve: Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish, sprinkle with chopped parsley for freshness and color, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a large skillet to ensure carrots cook evenly and have room to brown without overcrowding.
  • Adjust the honey quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • For a flavor variation, try adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of ground cinnamon.
  • Make sure not to stir the carrots too much during the initial browning step to let them caramelize properly.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
